I think it is more so these days , can’t think of many over 34 keepers in the prem - Lloris maybe - Leicester got rid of Kasper also Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Everyone has the same opinion on here, I’m sure it’s shared by the club and that this is down to Dubravka wanting game time and to play in Europe. Doesn’t mean we should take a shit offer, option to buy makes absolutely no sense Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbo_11 Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Can only assume that with Howe saying it is out of his hands Dubravka and his agent are angling for the move. It doesn't make a great deal of sense from the club's perspective, but unlikely to keep him happy as No 2 in longer term. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Butcher Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 (edited) Might have a gentleman's agreement with him? We won't stand in his way if an offer he likes arrive? Edited August 26, 2022 by The Butcher Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRD Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Can see them loaning him for the season, choose not to make it permanent and we get back a 35 yo while we pray that Pope does not get injured. This deal does not compute. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotus Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 The loan fee could a factor. Also, frees up a squad place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he’s going on loan surely his wages will be the same? Or can clubs pay more as an incentive? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 I wonder if the story's of Dubs falling out with the backroom staff are true ? Howe seems like a lovely bloke but I can imagine some of his backroom team taking no shit and we all know what's coming if he gets on the wrong side of Lascelles. The transfer itself makes no sense to anyone but Man U so there must be another reason. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 An obligation of 7m or above would pretty much recoup our Pope fee and would be fair. Make them pay 10. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You always need two good keepers, with the second choice playing the cups to make their case for the first team - that doesn't seem to be happening here... Not loving the idea of Darlow as back up, as good a servant as he's been. Same. Doesn't change the outlook of our overall goalkeeping situation with Dubravka leaving. How's Pope's injury record generally? Pope has been great but Dubravka has never generally been anything but reliable. Didn't expect a goalkeeper to sign during the summer window unless there was going to be competition between them and Dubravka with Darlow being 3rd choice.

Happinesstan Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 we've just paid £10millio for a relegated keeper with 1yr on his contract. Dubs fnished 11th and has 3 yrs. Got to be worth 15 at least. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 No club has 2 top keepers though, do think Darlow is much worse than say most others in the league tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
